“La Juive,” a tragic tale of religious intolerance by Fromental Halevy, will air on this week’s Sunday Opera (3/2 3:00 p.m.). Eugene Scribe wrote the libretto for this opera which became one of the most popular of the 19th century after its premier in Paris on 23 February 1835. It deals with the plight of Jews in Switzerland in the 15th century, particularly Rachel and her adoptive father Eleazar who are persecuted by the Catholic Church and are arrested after it is found that Rachel’s love Samuel is actually a Christian.

Antonin Dvorak is the featured composer on this week’s Sunday Opera (3/23 3:00 p.m.), and it’s not “Rusalka”! Instead, we’re turning to his “pastoral comedy” entitled “Die Jakobiner” (“The Jacobin”). This intimate look at the relationship between a father and son which has been soured by false information and innuendo.

Over the years, we’ve often said that pieces were some of our “favorites,” and we do have many. We tried to wrangle them into a manageable size, but we still had enough for several programs. With this in mind, this week’s Dress Circle (2/23 7:00 p.m.) will look at some of our favorite overtures and opening numbers because we had far fewer of those than we did individual songs.

Happy March, the month of aquamarines, daffodils, and robins – oh, and quite a few musicals opening in New York, some of which we’ll be featuring on this week’s Dress Circle (3/2 7:00 p.m.). We’ve chosen fourteen musicals for our playlist that spans 125 years of Broadway history this time.

In the past, we’ve “marched” into March, but we’ve decided to “Parade into March” on this week’s Dress Circle (3/9 7:00 p.m.) with songs from a variety of musicals from stage and screen. We’ve done a program of parades before, but this time, the titles must contain the word “parade.”

The theme for this week’s Dress Circle (3/16 7:00 p.m.) came about as we were researching ideas for future programs. We noticed that almost all musicals feature songs where someone is leaving, telling someone else to leave, hinting someone else should leave, or is caught between leaving and staying. We came up with a list long enough to do several programs, so we thought we’d start this week with songs “Saying Goodbye or Not.”
